THE ROCKET RANTS | Trail Right/Trail Left by Errol “Rocket” Jones
1 Comment
Trail Right/Trail Left by Errol “Rocket” Jones misses the point. He states that if you are behind him, then you must not be in contention and therefore don’t need to get around him. I content that HE is not in contention and therefore shouldn’t be upset about stepping aside for two seconds. After all, the person trying to pass may be in contention for an age group award (like, the 60-69 year old women’s category). What’s another two seconds to him? Jeeze!!
